CHICAGO, March 29.-Two hundred and fifty
delegates from thirty principal cities between
Boston and San Francisco met at the Grand
Hotel this morning. for the first annual conven-
ton of the National Builders Association. Geo.
c. Prussng of Chicago. was made permanent
chairman and VIM. FL. Saywood, of Boston, was
chosen secretary. Chairman Prussing, in his
opening remarks, after rehearsing the prelm-
sary steps by which the local associations had
at last united for q national assembly said:
"You have met to secure uniformity OF action
by recommendations to locate exchanges
through central body, in matters affecting the
interests of builders in their relations to owners
architects, mechanics, apprentices and workmen
generally. And, in addition to this, our prime
object, it is hoped that by the social intercourse
naturally incidental to gatherings Of this kind
and the extended acquaintance among the build
ers Of the different cities, various and lasting
benefits will be derived"
Acommittee of nine on credentials was elected,
after little squabble among gentlemen from
the East The initiation fee from each delega-
ton was fixed at $50. A programme for three
days has been arranged. This afternoon the
committee on credentials reported and another
nwos chosen to draft constitution and bylaws
Tor the association.

THE yooDoo DOCTOR.
The Strange Superstition of the Colored
People Portrayed.

MilledgeviIle Ca, Special.
The recent poisoning of family of eleven
persons in this county, by voodoo doctor and
the death of four of the number therefrom, fol-
lowed by the lunacy of the father, has only
served to increase the awe felt by the negroes
for the mysterious dealers in charms. They be-
leve implicitly in the claims of these charlatane,
and are at all times ready victims. In Licking
ton there lives tn cid negro named "Rlckety'
George, who followed Sherman's army from At
lanta to Savannah, throwing spells upon all who
came in his way. He is now himself the victim
Of conjurer. He says that he was sitting down
in the corner by the fire, and a strange negro
who came in stirred up something in the hot
embers and cast it on his breast and it
tickled him. George says it was four
months before it passed off. He went to man
who said he would cure him by giving him rosin
pills. and by making poultice of hot ashes and
warm water and wearing it next to his skin for
a week. This, he said, finally cured him.
George SAYS he would have passed it from him
to some one else, but he did not know how as
God had 'larnt' him everything but that.
George has brass ring on each finger Of both
hands to cure the rheumatism, which he says is
an infallibe remedy. He is sometimes bothered
with witches riding him at night but simple
remedy or preventive, is to sleep with his pocket
knife under his head, which rule he has followed
for twenty years He also wears two large
leather bands on his two wrists to prevent the
cramp. He says the devil is the son of God,
and that the Bible teaches, which doctrine he
firmly believes He has wonderful good luck and
accounts for it by failing to carry the left
hind foot of graveyard rabbit in his pocket.
He says the rabbit is never known to sleep at
night, and that it keeps off ghosts because it is
wide awake.
He also has in his possession the heart of bat
which he wears next to his own. It is prevent
i've of ghosts, and more especially from the ghost
of "Jones," the wife murderer, who was hanged
three years ago. George says he almost rur
himself to death as he was passing along the road
| one bright night, and in looking back he saw his
| shadow on the ground. He ran two miles te
town and did not stop until he ran into the arms
of a good old sister Of the church, who told him
| of the manner of fright A few nights after
| while going along the same road. on looking
back over his left shoulder flor over the right il
bad luckl he espied what he thought was
| snake This he ran from over the same road
| until out Of breath. whom 10! it was only on,
strap of his suspenders hanging down. which
kept pace with him. George says he knows O.
numbers of old sisters about town who con
| iured, aud on that account have lost their use
| fitness.

Interview in Chicago Nail.
Mr.. George said. in reply to the reporters
questions:
Eyes, the great majority of st. Stephens con-
gregation are with DR.. McGlynn, and they will
stand by him to the last. He is not only one of
the most brilliant of the Catholic clergy in the
United States, but his pure and simple life. his
innumerable acts of charity, his sympathy with
the poor, and his clear understanding and appre-
citation of their real condition, have made him
popular throughout the entire city.
''Dr. McGlynn, while ministerng to the spirit
ual aud temporal wants OF his Pensioners, be-
came convinced that mere aims giving as relief
for the poverty into which the laboring people
had fallen was as useless as an attempt to bail
out the ocean He was student always, and he
looked beyond tho immediate causes of the suf-
ferings the deprivatons, the mseries which he
daily and nightly witnessed. He knew that
there must be some great remedy. some grand
panacea, for the dreadful evils growing out Of
our system OF society; that the gulf which sepa-
rated the very poor from the very rich was
growing deeper and deeper, and that God did
not intend that one portion of the inhabitants of
his parish should live in the lap of luxury while
the other and the larger portion should be bereft
of the comforts and in thousands Of cases, the
neeessaries of life. He saw that it WAS only in
rare instances that the impoverished people
were themselves responsible for their euferings
He saw that the fathers OF families who worked
from sunrise 10 SUNSET Woro un9Di0 TO Keep the
wolf from the door; that there was no just com

THE CASE III THE SUPREME CouRr

IHE CASE II THE SUPREME COURT
On November I'd, 1887, the Su-
preme Court of the United States, be-
fore whom petition for writ Of err
ror in the case ofthe Chicago anarch-
lists had been brought by Gen. Pryor,
assisted by other eminent counsel,
gave decision excluding all hope for
the anarchists excepting by the elem
ency of the governor of Illinois. In
brief, the decision o1 the court declar-
ed the Illinois jury law to be constitu-
tional- Chief Justice Waite announ-
ced the opinion, in which ali the asso-
ciate justices concurred.
Two days before the execution,
Lining committed suicide by blowing
his head to pieces with candle con-
taining dynamite. The sentence of
Fielden and Schwab was committed to
life imprisonment by Governor Ogie-
thorpe, but though hondreds Of let
ters written and a petition Of names,
miicsin length, begging clemency, was
presented, the Governor refused to in
terfere on behalf of the others.
Friday was The fatal day and IN
full sight of the populace, the four
fiends in human form,-Engel, Spies,
Fischer, and Parsons expiated their
direful crime by dreadful death.
Thus ends the tragedy Of blood, and
all good American citizens rejoice
that Is is over. The majesty of the
law has been asserted, and anarchy
and crime have been throttled in sin
cursed Chicago.

Abolish the Homestead Law

The homestead law is a curse to ev-
cry honest citizen in the State of
North Carolina, be he either shite or
black, rich or poor. It has long since
outllved its usefulness and the purpose
for which it was created. It is duty
that the people owe to themselves and
the business and industries of the State
to see that the law is abolished SIS soon
as possible. The abolition Of thi.
odioas law would have a marvellous
effect for good on every branch of bus
mess in North Carolina and would
work a wonderful change in business
relations. It must be plain to all
that the law protects the rascal and
at the same time harms the honest cit.
lzen who regards it bis duty to pay
his debts. 1t is the policy of The En-
terprtse to condemn in the strongest
terms every Dad lay, and among sew
eial bad ones with which the people of
this Stale are afflicted, it regards the
homestead law as the worst. While
II IS the tlaty OF a good citizen aud
loyal newspaper to respect the laws of
MS country. it is equally their duty to
condemn and seek to abolish :. law
when the effect is for evil Instead of
for good. .-High Point Enterprise.
